Hi. Back when I was using DP on my Mac, I used Quick Keys to make macros and loved it. It really sped things up and more importantly, saved wear and tear on my wrist from using the mouse. Then things went south. My Mac died a horrible death and at the time I wasn't in the position to spend a lot of money on a new computer. So, I got a PC instead. But now, I've gotten a new Mac. Searching for Quick Keys, I found that it appears to not be available, except for a legacy version that won't run on Mojave.
So, my question to you nice folks is, how do you all make macros these days? What is the preferred app?

Keyboard Maestro is amazing and extremely deep. I've actually put hours into making macros that have saved my company dozens of hours. I have ones that fill out large web forms with a few copies and simple clicks. And of course common tasks with DP. Highly recommended.

Your thread was the nudge I needed to get Keyboard Maestro. I already have a few things I'm going to do with it.
M1 MBP; OS 15.3, FF800, DP 11.33, PC3K7, K2661, iPad6, Godin XTSA (w/ SY-1000), 2 Ibanez 5-string basses (1 fretted, 1 fretless), FX galore

Re: Macro?
I just downloaded it. I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but I can tell it's a bit more complicated to use than Quick Keys was, although it looks like it does way more. I'm excited to delve more deeply into it. Thanks again for the recommendation. You guys are the best.
